Hi Abdullah, It does not look like you have received a response to the requests shown in your screenshot (if you notice, the 'Status' column is empty) which is why there is no 'Response' tab present. You also appear to have an alert in the Proxy -> Intercept tab - do you have the 'Intercept is on' configuration set within this tab, which means that your requests are stalled and have not yet reached the destination web server?

Thanks, it had the "Intercept is On" button pressed and i thought that's how it should be, But when i changed that to "Intercept is Off" it shows response now.

Hi Abdullah, With the "Intercept is on" configuration set, any requests from the browser will have been intercepted and waiting for you to perform some manual action on them under the Proxy -> Intercept tab. As these requests have not reached the destination webserver at that point, the site will not load and you will not have received a response. We would generally recommend that you have this set to "Intercept is off" unless you want to capture requests in real time. With "Intercept is off" configured, the requests will still pass through Burp (and are viewable in the Proxy -> HTTP history tab) but you do not have to perform any manual action on them for them to reach the destination web server.
